Stupid auto correct, SSD's. Plus they have become way more affordable and are so superior.

That SSD didn't last but a year and some change. The spinning disk it replaced, which is going back in there for now, was already two years old and going flawlessly. I got laptops from 2010 with their original 250GB hard drives in them still going strong after all these years.
They don't last worth a damn. I really wouldn't call that "superior".

I mean NVME's are superior and cheaper. The only downside is they run super hot.
I been using SK Hynix a 2 Tb Gold and 2 TB Platinum since they outclass Samsung
Sorry to hear dat.
I luv them SSD's. They give me less problems. The laptops I got, got to have SSD. Them drives w/ the moving parts crash only in a matter of time. Once I hear them clicks, I know its only a matter of time.

At least if I would have heard some clicks, I would have known that drive's days were numbered and could have made a move to a different drive.
With an SSD you reboot and *poof*, shit is dead. No warning, no nothing.
I got hard drives from the late 90's that still work fine. Even have laptop drives from the early to mid-00's that still work.
Sorry to hear that.
This laptop I'm on now, got SSD. They easier to work w/ imo. Faster too.

Speed, yeah, no question there. In fact, when I took my main laptop off of the NVMe SSD to a spinning disk the very first thing I noticed was the speed that virtual machines launched was significantly slower, which was annoying but the fact that I doubled my drive space to 1TB for what was then a fraction of the cost of a 1TB SSD made it absolutely worth it.
With this failure, I still can't see myself trusing SSD's long term. Not when I've got spinning disks still 100% operable from when G.W.Bush was President.

I need some help yall. So im doing some christmas shopping for the family and my youngest nephew says he wants a laptop mainly to play games on.
He's young so im not tryna splurge on a super maxed out gaming joint pc yet. He mainly wants to play roblox, minecraft and fortnite. Any advice on for the specs on a low to mid-tier laptop for those games?

Honestly, if you can find the joint I have for cheap then it would be worth it. Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with a 10th gen i5 and Geforce 1650. Should be enough to play a lot of shit out there.

Good lookin out bruh!
I mean he still young and not responsible enough yet for me to drop 600 on a laptop. This is a good starting point though I appreciate it

If you decide otherwise, bump it up to at least 16gb and a fatter drive. It can take SATA spinning disk, SATA SSD's, as well as M.2 2242 NVMe SSD's and full length NVME SSD's. (it actually has three drive locations on it.)

@Inori This is what it does with Quake Champions at 1080p. I'll probably fire it up later this evening and record a run on either Destiny 2 or Doom Eternal.
Also, check Ebay. There's a version of this laptop with a Ryzen processor that might be a bit cheaper.
edit - forgot I did a run on Doom Eternal earlier this year.

Was looking at best buy and they outa stock on the Ideapad Gaming 3.
@konceptjones any alternative laptop suggestions? I talked with the nephew and his biggest complaint was his current laptop gets hot as hell when he playing his lil games lol. I dont think hes too pressed on frame rates and all that shit at this stage.
